Professional Sanded Paper Great for Underpainting

UART Sanded Pastel Paper is designed for the artist that seeks quality and consistency in their painting surface. Our computer-controlled electrostatic coating process results in a consistent grain application. This, along with our high quality standards provide the artist with a uniform work surface that remains constant.

UART Premium Sanded Pastel Paper is pH neutral and acid free. UART Pastel Paper accepts underpainting using a wide variety of media such as water, oil, mineral spirits, turpenoid and alcohol. After the underpainting process, the tooth still holds many layers of pastel and the grain will remain affixed to the paper.

UART Pastel Paper is available in seven grades from 240 to 800. The 240 has the largest tooth available in a sanded pastel paper. The 280 and 320 are great for the artist that wants a little extra layering. The UART Pastel Paper 400 has proven to be a favorite of pastel artist's. The finest tooth is our 800 grade, popular for colored pencil as well as pastel. The 500 and 600 grades provide a moderate tooth. With seven grades to offer, UART meets the needs of the artists.

UART Sanded Pastel paper is the choice of many professional pastel, colored pencil, charcoal and water color artists. Its texture is ideal for pastel drawings where consistency is demanded

UART Pastel Paper will accept multiple applications of soft and hard pastels, as well as watercolor and oil washes. Great results have also been achieved using other mediums too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PEARLYSUE41 from Great Pastel canvasI really like the 800 sandpaper for soft pastels. It is good to order the larger sheets as youcan either use them as they come or cut to size. The paper takes the Mungyo or Unisonpastels very nicely and is smooth enough to blend beautifully. At the same time, it hasenough "grit" to spray a fixative and then pastel over that too. So far, the Uart 800 is myfavorite canvas for soft pastels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Professional Artist SubstrateI have used Uart for use with soft pastels for quite some time now and have found only one other that very nearly covers my needs. That is Kitty Wallace. The 400 grit Uart is substantially the same grade. I prefer the 500 and 500 grit for soft pastels. I use it exclusively. I also use 600 and 800 grit for oil pastel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SRM from A very good product.I'm using the 400 grit and finding it durable enough to accept several layers of pastel as well as withstanding underpainting with denatured alcohol over an initial layer of pastel. The 240 grit was too rough for my purposes, but was used successfully for line drawings instead of completed pastel paintings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Paper for Pastels & UnderpaintingsI used to always use Wallis sanded papers (and still love them too) but this is a great paper especially when I'm not sure if I'll do a watercolor underpainting (works better than Wallis for water) rather than an oil wash underpainting (both work well with oils).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from UArt Paper Is ExcellentI've done watercolor underpaintings on this paper but found I need to mount it before this process because my watercoloring is fairly wet. However, others I know do not need to pre-mount Uart paper because they watercolor a bit drier than I do. The paper holds a wonderful amount of pastel (I use 400 grit) and while I would prefer pure white instead of the beige color, I'm really pleased with it and appreciate the lower cost over other professional papers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from UArt PaperUart pastel paper gives the artist a variety of grit. From 400-800. And I do believer that there is another heavier grit either coming or already on the market. I prefer the 500 and 600 grit for my work. It stands up extremely well to alcohol underpaintings. No buckling. Holds multiple layers of pastel. No pattern to get in the way of the finished painting. All of this and is of premium grade. Good value for an excellent product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by valuent from Best all-around pastel surfaceUART pastel paper is an extremely durable surface. The pastels can be washed off without the paper buckling or suffering degradation of the surface. I prefer the 500 grit. This site offers a sampler pack so you can experience all the different grits for yourself.
